WOW!!! I am amazed at the level of expertise on this forum. However I think I'm at information overload because now I dont know what product I should use in my wheelhouse side windows.
For the front facing windows I'm going to use tempered glass. The last motosailer I owned had removable windsheilds with tempered glass and I know of three times they were dropped from about 5 ft. and they never broke.
I had planned to use polycarbonate for the side windows and dutch doors, mainly to keep the weight down, ( the top half of my wheelhouse is removable for trucking purposes and possibly french canals ) , but now I'm not sure what I should use. I already have two sheets of 1/4" polycarbonate that was given to me so perhaps I should just use what I have for now with the understanding I'll be replacing it in a few years.

I sure wish that I had found this forum a few years ago when I started this project.
